Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and then said to Base Chief Wu.
"Base commander, you might as well give it a try. If you don't agree, then forget it, as long as the two of them don't do anything to betray the base."
"Let's talk about that later, it's not the right time yet," Commander Wu sighed.
On the other side...
Ye Yunxi watched as Professor Hu and his group, along with the people they brought, busied themselves for three hours.
Professor Hu said to Ye Yunxi, panting.
"Yunxi, we've planted them all. Now, what's next?"
Ye Yunxi pointed to the buckets of water on the ground and said.
"This water isn't ordinary water; it's mixed with nutrient solution. Just water the seeds with this water."
Professor Hu looked in the direction Ye Yunxi was pointing, and it looked like ordinary water. Since Ye Yunxi said it had nutrient solution added, then she must have a reason.
Instruct the men they brought to take these buckets of water and water the seeds, and tell them to be careful not to spill it.
Then he turned to ask Ye Yunxi.
"Yunxi, what is nutrient solution? Did you research it yourself? Can I see it?"
Ye Yunxi was stumped by Professor Hu's series of questions.
He took out the spiritual spring water that he had prepared beforehand and showed it to Professor Hu.
Professor Hu took the water bottle from Ye Yunxi and looked at it from left to right.
"This is the nutrient solution? It doesn't seem special at all! Yunxi, could you sell me some so I can take it back and study it?"
Ye Yunxi didn't speak, but was talking about this with Xiaoyou in her mind.
"Xiao You, if we sell this spiritual spring water to the base, will they be able to research its composition?"
"No, the spiritual spring water cannot be analyzed to produce other components, but young master can sell it to this old man. Let him sell it to you in gold."
Xiao You knew the base couldn't research it, so she reassured Ye Yunxi that she could sell it to the people at the base.
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and then said to Professor Hu.
"Sure, this bottle costs 50 contribution points, which can be exchanged for gold. That's 100 grams of gold."
Professor Hu heard that Ye Yunxi was willing to sell it to him, but in exchange for gold. He did have some gold, some of which he had bought before the apocalypse. He gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, I'll buy it. I'll bring you the gold in a bit."
"Deal!" Ye Yunxi never expected that the spiritual spring water could be sold for money. She also wondered if she could sell the TT she had hoarded to the wealthy people in the base in exchange for gold.
But now that I think about it, this is the apocalypse. Who would want to have a child in a world where there's not enough food? Even if they did, it would be very difficult to raise them. And it would be very harmful to a woman's health.
The people at the base need this the most. I'll ask Zhong Ziming to help me sell it sometime when I have time.
After everyone else poured all the water from the spirit spring onto the seeds, there was nothing else to do. The next step was for someone to keep an eye on them and water them every day.
Ye Yunxi addressed the professors.
"Professors, the seeds have been planted, but now they need someone to watch over them every day and water them twice a day. We haven't assigned anyone to supervise them yet. What do you think?"
The professors looked at each other, and finally Professor Hu stepped forward and spoke.
"How about this, Yunxi, the people we brought can stay and help you look after the vegetable garden and water it. The two of them can watch it for a day and then go back to rest in the evening. What do you think?"
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and realized that someone needed to keep watch all the time. If no one was on guard at night, she was afraid that someone might take advantage of the situation and break in.
"Two people can watch it all day, but we're afraid of the night."
"Sister Xi, I'll keep watch tonight. I'm a grown man, I'm not afraid," Chen Zhe volunteered.
Ye Yunxi looked at Chen Zhe. "You can't be on guard all night. It's tiring to do it every day."
Chen Zhe looked around, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Sister Xi, how about we fence off the vegetable garden? You have an electric fence on your iron gate, right? Let's put up an electric fence too, so we won't have to worry about people stealing at night."
The professors all agreed with what Chen Zhe said.
"This young man's suggestion is good. Yunxi, why don't you give it a try? We can talk to Chief Wu about the materials for the wall and ask him to provide them. Then we can find someone to build the wall, what do you think?"
Ye Yunxi pondered for a moment. She had the materials to build the wall. If the base provided them, it would save her the trouble of finding materials.
"Okay, then we'll do it your way, but the wall needs to be built higher. If it's too low, it'll be easy for them to climb over."
"Alright, then we'll go talk to the base commander about this. You all come here for a moment," Professor Hu called out to the people who had come.
After the group arrived, they all looked around and waited for Professor Hu to give them instructions.
"Are any of you willing to follow Yunxi?"
Several people turned to look at Ye Yunxi.
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and realized that if she wanted someone to help her look after her vegetable garden, she would have to pay them wages.
"If you are willing to follow me, I can pay you a salary every month, or you can exchange your salary for vegetables with me."
Of course, the premise is that you must help me wholeheartedly and not have any ulterior motives. If you have any ulterior motives and steal the vegetables I plant, and I find out, I will not show any mercy.
Those who genuinely help me, I'll give them benefits in return. How you do it is up to you.
After listening to what Ye Yunxi said, Professor Zhang continued.
"If you're willing to stay and help Yunxi, in addition to the benefits she gives you, you can also receive a salary from us. It's like double pay."
The other three professors nodded in agreement with Professor Zhang's statement.
